Cathryn and Simon- a family shoot around Newmiller Dam

10 years is a long time by anyone’s standards. But a 10 year wedding anniversary is to be applauded. Especially when you’re like Cathryn and Simon, and look like you could have gotten married yesterday. Well, apart from their 3 adorable children swarming around them (monkeys, the lot of them!)

They wanted to do something a little different to remember their 10th anniversary – family photos, but something a bit more natural. So we went for an explore around nearby Newmiller Dam, Wakefield – attempting to build dens, climbing, jumping, and an ice-cream to round it all off (and possibly a little bit of posing in the mean time!)

Thank you to Cathryn and her 4 kids for a fantastic morning (well, 3 kids plus husband….)
